72070, unidentified working, Nantes station 
 It's 1600 and 72070 has just arrived with a train from the east, possibly Paris? The continental style of low platforms seem to accentuate the size and bulk of locomotives and these SNCF class C'C' diesels are no exception. These Alsthom (now Alstom) built locomotives were a familar sight throughout the French network. Varieties of the basic design are found on other networks too and many are still in use today.
